The Importance of Themes in Drupal

The theme of your Drupal site is responsible for the visitor's first impression of the
site. Given the key role in shaping the presentation, a theme is arguably the most

more— whether it be only to install additional themes and then modify them to suit
your needs, or whether you plan to build your own themes from scratch.

Drupal themes, it is useful to look at three concepts that impact the way you use the
system and the way in which you must plan your theme deployment.
